Transmigrated into a cunning princess, she sets her sights on a celibate royal uncle.

Jiang Xi has disappeared. Huo Jingxuan searched almost the entire capital, but still found no trace of her.

So he had the people who were monitoring Chun Tao and Lu Ye in the small mountain village bring them to him.

Chunniang, now sporting Chuntao's face, knelt ramrod straight and insisted, "This servant has no idea where the Seventh Princess has gone!"

Looking at her calm face and her still flat stomach, Huo Jingxuan felt a strange sensation.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he raised his hand to brush off the human skin mask from Chunniang's face.

Chunniang was knocked to the ground by Huo Jingxuan's powerful internal force. She covered her face, bit her lip, and looked up at Huo Jingxuan who was looking down at her.

Huo Jingxuan looked at the unfamiliar face in front of him and once again brushed off the mask from Lu Ye's face.

The true colors of the two were revealed, which made Huo Jingxuan both angry and amused.

He was completely fooled by a woman, not even noticing such a simple trick.

Presumably, Jiang Xi found what she wanted when she entered her study that day!

So that night, I deliberately said some nice things to deceive myself and lower my guard!

And he foolishly chose to believe it!

At this moment, Huo Jingxuan felt as if Jiang Xi had ruthlessly trampled his sincere heart under his feet.

He couldn't help but slap himself and curse himself for deserving it!

How could Jiang Xi possibly really like him? It's all just ulterior motives!

Upon hearing the news, Shang Que rushed over and saw the two people kneeling on the ground, their human skin masks lying on the floor.

Always insightful, he suddenly understood and subconsciously turned to look at Huo Jingxuan's expression.

The latter's face was extremely pale, a mixture of ashen and bluish-white, and his usually deep, peach-blossom eyes were filled with a storm, as if ready to sweep everything away at any moment.

However, Jiang Xi was a disciple he had finally managed to take in, and he was planning to take her back to Penglai Sendai to live in seclusion and study medicine.

We can't let her die at Huo Jingxuan's hands like this.

So he couldn't help but step forward, put a hand on Huo Jingxuan's shoulder, and carefully persuade him.

“This matter cannot be entirely blamed on Xiao Qi. In her heart, you are the culprit who killed her brother. How could she possibly let go of her hatred and live by your side for the rest of her life?”

You know it yourself, don't you? It's because you fell in love with her that you gave her the opportunity to deceive you.

She made a mistake, but it didn't warrant death. You can't kill her for that..."

Before Shang Que could finish speaking, Huo Jingxuan interrupted him with a chilling glare.

Huo Jingxuan turned his head to look at Shang Que: "You actually spoke up for her?"

Shang Que hesitated before speaking, "She is, after all, my disciple... If you don't want her, let me take her back to Penglai Immortal Terrace. I promise she will never cause you any more trouble!"

"Shut up!" Huo Jingxuan roared furiously, "Do you think I would spare her life after she deceived me like this?"

Shang Que was stunned, a sense of fear flashing through his mind: "Senior brother, you...you're not really going to kill her, are you?"

She is, after all, a princess of the current dynasty. Besides, as the saying goes, even a day as husband and wife is a day's grace..."

Before Shang Que could finish speaking, Huo Jingxuan had already taken down the Wangxu Sword hanging above his bed. With a snap, the sword was drawn and split a screen in the center of the hall in two.

The Sword of Delusion...

Since my senior brother became regent, this sword has never been drawn again.

At this moment, Senior Brother has restarted the Illusory Sword, so it seems that Jiang Xi's life is really in danger this time!

I must find Jiang Xi before my senior brother and take her away!

At this moment, Jiang Xi, holding the Cold Crow Token, led Lu Ye and Chun Tao to the headquarters of the Cold Crow Society.

The headquarters of the Cold Crow Society is located in "Yunmeng Mountain", and the mountain gate is guarded by disciples of the Cold Crow Society.

At first, these people stopped Jiang Xi and his group, but after Jiang Xi showed the Cold Crow Token, they respectfully led them to the headquarters.

The headquarters is located on a mountaintop, surrounded by clouds and mist, with pine trees welcoming guests, flying eaves and tiles, and palaces scattered about.

Above the main gate, the three large characters "Cangwu Palace" are written in seal script, with flowing and elegant strokes.

Jiang Xi recognized that it was indeed her elder brother's handwriting.

At that moment, the tightly closed door was pulled open from the inside.

A man in his twenties, dressed in a black outfit, led a group of people out from inside.

After these people came out, they stood respectfully to the sides, while the man in the tight-fitting clothes walked towards Jiang Xi and the others who were standing in front of the door.

"Your subordinate, Su Huanqing, greets Your Majesty!"

Jiang Xi explained, "The Cold Crow Token belongs to my imperial brother; I am merely taking over it on his behalf!"

The man who called himself Su Huanqing remained respectful: "When the Third Prince founded the Cold Crow Society, he made it clear that whoever holds the Cold Crow Token, no matter who they are, must be obeyed by his subordinates!"

That's it!

Jiang Xi understood perfectly.

At that moment, Su Huanqing gestured to Jiang Xi, "Please come in and rest, Master!"

Jiang Xi glanced at Lu Ye and Chun Tao behind her. They did look travel-worn, so she went inside first.

Su Huanqing led the group to a courtyard with the words "Liuyun Residence" written on the gate.

“This is the courtyard where the Third Prince used to stay!” Su Huanqing explained.

Upon hearing that it was the place where her elder brother had lived, Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment before pushing open the courtyard gate and slowly walking inside.

"Every flower, every blade of grass, every stone, and every tree in the courtyard was arranged by the Third Prince himself!"

Su Huanqing followed behind Jiang Xi and introduced them.

Jiang Xi felt a mix of emotions and stopped by the stone platform in the courtyard.

"From now on, I will regain control of my elder brother's power and avenge him. You organize all the information; I want to review it personally!"

"Your subordinate obeys!" Su Huanqing replied respectfully.

In addition to the master bedroom, Liuyun Residence also has side rooms. For convenience, Chun Tao and Lu Ye each stayed in the left and right side rooms respectively.

After settling in, Jiang Xi washed her hair and took a hot shower.

The bath was filled with steam and flower petals.

Jiang Xi leaned against a protruding rock in the pool, letting the hot spring water wash away her fatigue.

But I just couldn't calm my mind.

Huo Jingxuan should know by now that he's been deceiving him, and he's probably gritting his teeth and hunting him down all over the world.

However, what exactly did the people from the palace want that day?

Forget it, don't think about it too much. Once Su Huanqing has organized the information, I'll see which officials in the court are my brother's.

We need to find a way to get in touch with these people again. Once Chun Tao gives birth to the child, we can use them to restore her identity and return to the capital!

With this in mind, Jiang Xi finally relaxed a little.

The steaming heat made her feel drowsy.

Just as she was sleeping, she had a dream.

In her dream, she was soaking in a hot spring at Liuyunju when she suddenly heard the sound of water in front of her, which startled her so much that she opened her eyes abruptly.

What came into view was Huo Jingxuan, who was only wearing a white undergarment, with black hair as black as ink and thick eyebrows and eyes.
